Om. That is full; this is full. This
fullness has been projected from that fullness. When this fullness
merges in that fullness, all that remains is fullness. Om. Peace! Peace!
Peace!
(more on invocation; has audio)

1) All this—whatever exists in this
changing universe—should be covered by the Lord. Protect the Self by
renunciation. Lust not after any man's wealth.

2) If a man wishes to live a hundred
years on this earth, he should live performing action. For you, who
cherish such a desire and regard yourself as a man, there is no other
way by which you can keep work from clinging to you.

3) Verily, those worlds of the asuras
are enveloped in blind darkness; and thereto they all repair after death
who are slayers of Atman.

4) That non—dual Atman, though never
stirring, is swifter than the mind. The senses cannot reach It, for It
moves ever in front. Though standing still, It overtakes others who are
running. Because of Atman, Vayu, the World Soul apportions the
activities of all.

5) It moves and moves not; It is far
and likewise near. It is inside all this and It is outside all this.

6) The wise man beholds all beings in
the Self and the Self in all beings; for that reason he does not hate
anyone.

7) To the seer, all things have verily
become the Self: what delusion, what sorrow, can there be for him who
beholds that oneness?

8) It is He who pervades all—He who is
bright and bodiless, without scar or sinews, pure and by evil unpierced;
who is the Seer, omniscient, transcendent and uncreated. He has duly
allotted to the eternal World—Creators their respective duties.

9) Into a blind darkness they enter who
are devoted to ignorance (rituals); but into a greater darkness they
enter who engage in knowledge of a deity alone.

10) One thing, they say, is obtained
from knowledge; another, they say, from ignorance. Thus we have heard
from the wise who have taught us this.

11) He who is aware that both knowledge
and ignorance should be pursued together, overcomes death through
ignorance and obtains immortality through knowledge.

12) Into a blind darkness they enter
who worship only the unmanifested prakriti; but into a greater darkness
they enter who worship the manifested Hiranyagarbha.

13) One thing, they say, is obtained
from the worship of the manifested; another, they say, from the worship
of the unmanifested. Thus we have heard from the wise who taught us
this.

14) He who knows that both the
unmanifested prakriti and the manifested Hiranyagarbha should be
worshipped together, overcomes death by the worship of Hiranyagarbha and
obtains immortality through devotion to prakriti.

15) The door of the Truth is covered by
a golden disc. Open it, O Nourisher! Remove it so that I who have been
worshipping the Truth may behold It.

16) O Nourisher, lone Traveller of the
sky! Controller! O Sun, Offspring of Prajapati! Gather Your rays;
withdraw Your light. I would see, through Your grace, that form of Yours
which is the fairest. I am indeed He, that Purusha, who dwells there.

17) Now may my breath return to the
all—pervading, immortal Prana! May this body be burnt to ashes! Om. O
mind, remember, remember all that I have done.

18) O Fire, lead us by the good path
for the enjoyment of the fruit of our action. You know, O god, all our
deeds. Destroy our sin of deceit. We offer, by words, our salutations to
you.

End of Isa Upanishad

The Peace Chant:

Om. That is full; this is full. This
fullness has been projected from that fullness. When this fullness
merges in that fullness, all that remains is fullness.

Om. Peace! Peace! Peace!

This site is devoted to
presenting the ancient Self-Realization path of
the Tradition of the Himalayan masters in simple, understandable and
beneficial ways, while not compromising quality or depth. The goal of
our sadhana or practices is the highest
Joy that comes from the Realization in direct experience of the
center of consciousness, the Self, the Atman or Purusha, which is
one and the same with the Absolute Reality.
This Self-Realization comes through Yoga meditation of the Yoga
Sutras, the contemplative insight of Advaita Vedanta, and the
intense devotion of Samaya Sri Vidya Tantra, the three of which
complement one another like fingers on a hand.
We employ the classical approaches of Raja, Jnana, Karma, and Bhakti
Yoga, as well as Hatha, Kriya, Kundalini, Laya, Mantra, Nada, Siddha,
and Tantra Yoga. Meditation, contemplation, mantra and prayer
finally converge into a unified force directed towards the final
stage, piercing the pearl of wisdom called bindu, leading to the
Absolute.
